Nah. Tucker Carlson is going to make almost twice what I made in my best year today.
It will take me 767 weeks or 14.75237 years to spend what Tucker Carlson will make today.
I mean, not really because of Biden*flation. Probably at least 10 years though, unless things start getting REALLY bad in the next 2.5 years.
How you been, JO?

According to an analysis released by Brown University this month, nearly 320,000 lives nationwide could have been saved if more people had chosen to get vaccinated.
National Public Radio examined deaths from COVID-19 per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the country from May 2021, a time when most Americans could obtain vaccines. Those living in counties that voted 60% or higher for Trump in 2020 had 2.26 times the death rate of counties that voted in comparable percentages for Biden, NPR reported.
Counties with a higher share of Trump votes had even higher mortality rates.
While COVID-19 death rates in regions are affected by several factors, including things like wealth and access to health care, death rates closely followed rates of vaccinations, which Republican lawmakers, activists and media personalities often railed against. Not only did they urge people not to get the vaccine, but often spread frightening disinformation about the vaccines.

h_catch_covid-19_twice_within_weeks
Jimmy Kimmell and Stephen Colbert who are boosted-to-the-gills Ultra-Mudbloods both got Covid twice in a few weeks.
I haven't gotten a single shot and I still haven't gotten Covid. And if I did, it was less problematic than the flu usually is for me and I never lost my sense of taste.
Not listening to your bullshit. Not getting vaccinated.
And if Biden* gives the power to the WHO to come in and knock down my door and try to force it on me, that isn't going to go well for anybody.

Quote:My relatives, all angry poor white trash from East Texas, eschew doctors and dentists. Not vaccinated, either. They also die young and without most of their teeth, but live perfectly free, voting for Trump! Did I mention they're poor? Poor, yet proud for pretty much no good reason.

Yup.
I'm not poor.
I feel sorry for you that your family is full of wastes of carbon.
I mean, you're a waste of carbon too, but your own specific brand of worthlessness.
Your entire family is a drain on the planet for no good goddamned reason.

Xi’s worst mistake was doubling down on his zero-COVID policy.
The continuing lockdowns have had disastrous consequences, pushing the Chinese economy into a free fall since March. In April, the nationwide highway logistics index, which measures road haulage across China, dropped to 70% of its level one year ago. For Shanghai alone, the highway logistics index has dropped to 17% of its year-earlier level. With over 80% of total freight volume carried by trucks in China, these numbers point to a near-collapse of domestic commercial shipping.
Moreover, the Caixin Composite PMI index, which uses data collected from some 400 companies to track private-sector business trends in China – including sales, new orders, employment, inventories, and prices – fell to 37.2, from 43.9 in March. When the PMI’s value is below 50, the economy is shrinking. China’s steeply declining economic activity is bound to have global consequences but, at least thus far, preparations for this have been scant.
These negative results will continue to gather momentum until Xi reverses course. The damage will be so great that it will affect the global economy. With the disruption of supply chains, global inflation is liable to turn into global depression.

Engineering — both high and low tech — can help fight COVID-19

Top four recommendations:
Note that ACH stands for air changes per hour — or the equivalent eACH. Ventilation is good, and it's something we should focus on in the short term, but various forms of UV radiation, either in rooms or in ducts, have the potential to be spectacular.
4. Open windows. Also open the door and use a fan to push air from the window and out the door. It will be a lot of flow. The main problem is it can't be done when it's cold outside. It's difficult to calculate the exact flow from windows to assign a number for ACH.
3. Ventilation Improvements. Good ventilation can provide between 3 to 6 ACH. All the previously mentioned strategies are inferior to having a building with good ventilation. I can't overstate the importance of investing in upgrading ventilation.
2. Upper Room UVGI — the real deal. It can add 12 to 24 eACH. It reduced measles outbreaks by 75%. If we want to go all out on mitigating airborne spread, this technology is needed.
1. Far UV. I've seen estimates between 10 to 300+ eACH. This technology isn't widespread yet and still expensive, but it could be a game changer moving forward.

Or just don't be a fat piece of shit and don't get an experimental vaccination.
Simple.
